I find myself missing Chicago on a weekly basis, so I was excited to read this for my virtual book club. While Turner's depiction of Chicago history is intriguing, I found her descriptions of the "three girls" (herself, Debra, and Kim) even more appealing. There's definitely despair and terrible events that happen here, but there are enough kernels of hope that I felt compelled to read to the end. It's nonfiction, but it reads like a novel (which is a compliment, as I'm not great at reading nonfiction!).
